Now i have no programing experience at all it was and still is jibber jabber to me...I had bought the "what is a microcontroller" kit as i had done some reading about basic stamps...So i went threw the book and projects and learned alittle like how to control my servo and such.

Anyways

1. I need a stronger servo (the servo is not strong enough to hold it
in position around turns)

2. I would like to put power to the board, can i do this off of my opus since
it is regulated (im not sure the voltage the board can survive)

3. I would like the servo to turn when the car turns on and then turn
closed when shut off..should I use the opus to send the signals to the
board or just uce my ACC line but when shut off would the servo still
have acces to power , so it can close..(the servo is powered off the
board)

I am sure i am missing alot off easier solutions but i really dont want to spend more money on those servo controll boards....since i have this board with a built in basic stamp2 it leaves me with many more crazy options down the road....So please any help and code to move the servo (it only rotates 180 degrees)

I would power the microprocessor board from your car battery, you can build a simple regulator to do that since most microprocessors take very little current. And the stamp will need to be powered on in order to sense wether or not your computer is on or off. You can just use one of the input pins of the stamp to monitor the 5v line from the opus to trigger the program to open or close the door. And unless you can decode the information coming back from the servo you will have to make limit switches so you dont burn out the servo.

thanks for the replies....i was thinkin 1 of those strong robot type servos might do the trick but im not sure if i want to drop $45 if it wont do the job..
I would love to show some pics of it but they are to big in size and i dont know how to make them smaller since i dont have adobe...if someone would tell me how to make the files smaller it would be apreciated the screen is in the car...and it is basically done except for the servo so right now i have to spin it around manually.

Dude simply head to any local R/C hobby shop and ask one of the sales reps for a strong servo. They should wip out one of those large servos used for large scale planes or helicopers. As far as the rest Im uncertain, I would sit and ponder a bit about that. Worse case senario you can tap the servo into a up/down switch.
